Do enlighten us.
Subtract
xfrom both sides of the equation. You get2 = -2which is incorrect and nonsensical.I know that, but @Urist@lemmy.blahaj.zone said that most of us here are bad at basic algebra. Not that I'm great at it (I had an 8 average in all 4 maths in uni), but I do believe that most of us here were correct. This is unsolvable using classic algebra.
Just to be clear: the comment was meant in a lighthearted way and not meant to be taken personally, especially toward those who are confident with their math skills.
My bad.
Apology accepted ๐.
To be honest, my comment was meant to have double meaning. On one hand, I was certain that this thing can't be solved with classic algebra. On the other, it's been a while since I've done any math with pen and paper, so I figured "I might have forgotten something that could make this solvable". In either case, I was curious ๐.
